Can't wait for the game to finally start!!! If we can win tonight, it would go a long way for us getting home field advantage.

Despite loss, if #Colts beat #Patriots, #Broncos would gain AFC's #1 seed. Four-way tie at 7-3, and Denver would own conference tiebreaker.

interesting.

And wouldn't the colts go to #2 and pats to #3? That means this game is even larger than I thought. This is like a Playoff game

Really? wow

I know it is hard to comprehend, but I think I dislike the Colts even more than I dislike the Jets.

tanking a season, tanking games that affected other team's playoff hopes, whining for rule changes and endlessly getting their way, playing indoor sissyball...

There are still a ton of games to go where Indy can pull a Pitt game again if we do lose and Den will lose @ KC....but i also think we lose @ GB....will be interesting come december

Just realised we get the 3 toughest defenses left on our schedule at home. Good stuff.

It would be much easier if the pats pulled a 07 type run and just won every game from
Here on out. I don't need this added stress

The Pats are fine in cold weather, they can win in Lambeau no problem. The problem however is that other #12 that will be playing that day.

Sorry to be a buzzkill, but I think we just need to control what we can control...should be a great game, we are 0-2 in this god forsaking dome, time to turn things around...

So true....! Hate this stress.

Local TV here in Indy is devoting their entire 6PM newscast to the game as I type this.

0-3 including the SB.

Way too early to worry about tie-breakers pre US Thanksgiving. One game at a time, win.

How the hell did we lose that game in 09? Brady was balling, Moss was Moss, Peyton was throwing ducks and 4th and 2 near your own end zone should have been a simple punt.

I still believe faulk made the yards. That was a polian call. Colts dont get that ref call in foxboro.

Not all that worried about tie breakers now other than individual head to head. A win obviously would be big just because it puts the Pats basically two games ahead of both the Broncos and the Colts.

But I seriously doubt there will be a three way tie at the end of the season. The Pats would still have the tiebreaker over the Broncos, but would lose the tie breaker with the Colts. Conference records can change over the rest of the season anyway.

Oh i know he made it for sure, so obvious. The point being of all the times Bill never goes for it on 4th down the 1 time he goes for it is the 1 time he shouldn't knowing it was effectively never going to be given in that place.

FWIW, Luck is on pace to throw nearly 700(!) passes this season.

Yes, he's already had more TDs this year than either of his first two seasons, but:

2013: 23 TD/9 INT
2014 (9 games): 26 TD/9 INT

If the Pats force TOs, I think they win as easily as they did last year.

bob costas ...ugh..again.
